The effect of the game deterrent Wöbra on attacks by the poplar clearwing moth, Paranthrene tabaniformis Rott. (Lep., Sesiidae)
Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, Pflanzenschutz, Umweltschutz 67 (4), 72-73
Abstract: The game deterrent 'Wöbra', a copolymer containing quartz sand, is smeared on trees to deter mammals from damaging the bark. An experiment showed that Wöbra might act as a physical barrier against woodboring insects but it did not prevent infestations by larvae of Paranthrene tabaniformis (Lep.; Sesiidae) in one-year-old poplars. Wöbra had not adversely affected the annual height increment of the treated trees up to three years after application.
